As a result of the recent events surrounding ethnic Kurds in Iraq and Turkey, people have been pressing the Insurgency to make their stance on the Kurdish question known. Here it is: The insurgency is pro-Kurdistan. That is--we support the creation of an independent Kurdish state in parts of what is now Southeastern Turkey, Northern Iraq, Northern Syria, and Northwestern Iran.
Why:
The Kurds are the indigenous people of Kurdistan and have a sovereign right to the land and to self-determination. While not all Kurds presently live within the boundaries of the lines we would suggest for the Kurdish state, If you build it, they will come.
The Kurds have had their cultural and political rights oppressed since before World War One. The Iranian Shah banned the Kurdish language, Turkey has denied the Kurds basic cultural rights and political representation since the founding of the country, and Saddam Hussein famously killed thousands of Kurds during his reign. And that's just a small taste of what they've put up with. For more check this link out.
The Insurgency is wise to U.S./Israeli funding and arming of PJAK, the Iranian branch of the PKK, and is, of course, wary of the possibility of a U.S. installed head of a new Kurdish state. We can, unfortunately, already imagine the privatization of the future nation of Kurdistan. But the fact that nefarious forces may be moving to extract Kurdistan's wealth in order to enrich themselves must not keep Kurdistan from becoming a reality. That fact is, rather, just one more battle to be fought on the road toward soveriegnty and self-determination.
The Insurgency will soon make its support for Kurdistan known in T-Shirt form. And once that happens, can a free and independent Kurdistan be far behind?
